Default 3 SANTA~SHELF~SITTERS...say that three times fast.....
I"m working on these three Santa shelf sitters for my three sons. Been carving a Santa for them for years now, carving three different faces on same concept. They are as diverse as my sons have always been. Fun to do. May try a finish with a twist this year.

These are really good. I like the depth and detail you have in each of them. You have some lucky boys!

They are very well carved, and nicely composed. I do notice however, that none of these three Santas appears to be brimming with jolly-ness...nary a smile in the bunch.

WoW they are great. I've never seen the actual hair become the resting part. And the eyes are really mezmorizing. You've been doing this stuff for a while! Really nice.
